Yes, it's exciting for the women who are going through the process... just as it's exciting for women who are going through collegiate rush. Some post a lot about it because they have questions, or they want to share their experiences.

And yes, they do worry about it.. that's natural when it's something that means a lot to them, and they're not getting any feedback. The AI process is very difficult, and can be quite the emotional rollercoaster. Often there is silence on the end of the GLO for many months-- leading the PNAM to wonder if she's out of consideration, or if there is something holding up the process-- like a national vote, or misplaced paperwork.

However, I don't see the obsession you mention in the threads. Maybe it's a difference in the way we are perceiving these threads.
